In our home in Southern California we had a small and somewhat short lemon tree that produced incredible amounts of lemons. I could see the tree from the kitchen windows and no matter how many lemons I picked, the tree was always full and always looked as if it was about to collapse from the heaviness of the fruit. Some days I got annoyed by its fruitfulness (I love lemons but seriously how many lemons can a girl use in a day!). The annoyance would go away as soon as I got close to the tree and smelled it’s blossoms. I would hunch under the branches and stand still. It was the best fragrance in the world! Clean, soothing and totally magical. I miss that tree dearly, luckily if I close my eyes, I can still smell the aroma of the lemon blossoms.

Possibly! However, the recipes published on this site are tested as written. Changes made by the reader are their own creation!  I encourage you to experiment but I suggest that you first try the recipe as written.

Most likely you can however, I cannot give you exact times or convert the recipe for you without testing it first.

I always like to remind readers that when it comes to proteins, many factors besides weight can affect the recipe outcome. For example, the amount of fat (marbling) or fat cap in certain cuts of beef will affect the outcome of the recipe. The same is true for organic vs non organic, grass fed versus grain fed and free range or caged. It is impossible for me to inspect every single cut of meat and the difference between ounces of fat. However, I can guarantee that I test all the recipes posted on this site multiple times before publishing them.

At this time, Lemon Blossoms is not accepting contributor writers.

My kitchen is stocked with 3 different types of salt at all times! For baking, I use Kosher salt and sea salt. For cooking, I use mostly sea salt, followed by Kosher salt and Himalayan salt.
I love Fleur de Sel as finishing salt. My oldest son is obsessed with smoked salt at the moment!

• My grandma who was an amazing cook, added chicken bouillon to most of her savory recipes (stews, beans and such). You can preach about sodium content all you want, I love that stuff!
• I did very poorly in school. I had a hard time understanding things and always felt lost. Focusing was hard and accomplishing tasks almost impossible. I discovered later in life that I am dyslexic. Discovering that was a big blessing. If you would like to know more about dyslexia or would like to make a meaningful change for students and individuals with dyslexia visit The Reed Charitable Foundation. They are amazing!
• I am one of those weirdos that feels at its best when sleeping 3-4 hours per night.
